Editorial issues

22 August 2016

Editorial Issue : New flag: ‘translation N/A’ Dutch AAT has a set of ‘Untranslatables’ How to flag these concepts? Checked but not translated…

New flag: ‘literal translation’ When there’s no equivalent, but translator can literally translate ‘half-tester beds’ ID 300038710 N.B. ‘hemelbed’ (Canopy bed) is another concept

‘guideboats’ becomes ‘gidsboten’ ID 300232771 Option for some ‘untranslatables’ (If it makes sense…)

RKDimages database (237.000 objects) as OpenSearch API (BETA) • Artwork records are (usually) linked to AAT, Iconclass, recently locations to Geonames and always to RKDartists records for the maker • The use of the RKDimages database, besides being a reference to RKD documentation and collections, is comparable to the aims of CONA. Namely…
